Small electric cars tend to be larger than their petrol counterparts to make room for their batteries and electrical systems, so while the Micra has enlarged external dimensions when compared with previous models, the amount of space on board hasn’t grown exponentially. There’s no problem with space up front, but rear room is tighter, while small windows, a dark roof lining and tall dashboard all contribute to the feeling that there’s a lack of space.
At just under four metres long, the Micra is marginally shorter than the last-generation supermini, but it’s nearly 90mm wider, around 45mm taller and has a 16mm longer wheelbase, which moves it close to the hatchback segment in terms of size. The extra height is entirely due to the location of the battery under the floor.
There is good small-item storage up front, including decent-sized door bins, cup-holders in the centre console and even a storage compartment that’s about the perfect size for a set of wireless earbuds – Nissan knows who its intended audience is. Front occupants also get lots of headroom and decent legroom, but the door sills are relatively high for a supermini.
